UK school initiative encourages kids to run around to improve their health

'The Daily Mile' is the brainchild of former principal, Elaine Wyllie, who was concerned about the fitness and concentration among some students. She set up the program as a simple solution to a growing problem in many schools. Her idea has spread across the UK and has been implemented in countries around the world.

Now, research conducted by Stirling University and the University of Edinburgh has found evidence that the program improves the health and fitness of the participating children.
